Great Books
In addition to quotes and people, books have been one of my greatest sources of knowledge. My book recommendations are hand-crafted indexes of the books that I’ve found to be the most useful. Here are examples:
Great People
People are one of my best sources of insight. I draw from some well-known heroes and unsung heroes, as well as my personal heroes and everyday heroes. I also have a lot of mentors that I draw from. Here are examples:

Great Quotes
